Yeah, I know I’ve used the above cartoon at this time of year before, but it’s a holiday favorite by my old friend Richard Crowson. Richard and I go way back.
Some possible topics:
- Russian foreign minister calls plane downing ‘planned provocation’ — Kinda scary. Or, as John Wayne said to Kirk Douglas in “In Harm’s Way,” “A lousy situation, Commander Eddington.”
- Tense but Peaceful Protests in Chicago After Video Release — I would certainly think the protests would be peaceful. If I’m a protester, I’m like, “I was really mad that the cops initially lied, but now the cop’s been charged and this video’s been released, so the system worked. I think I’ll go home and see what’s new on Netlix.” But then, that’s me. When I’m mad, I don’t take to the streets; I write.
- Black Friday Falters as Consumer Behaviors Change — One of those end-of-an-era-type stories.
- US activists to launch Guantánamo protest along camp’s perimeter — Again, we have my failure to get protesters. I mean, POTUS is trying like fun to close Gitmo, and has not succeeded because of very obvious obstacles, but will continue to try. So the protest expects to accomplish… what?
- Midlands family says home was targeted by people assuming members are Muslim — Sheesh. Like we need this. Someone in the story refers to the racist perps as “gentlemen.” Yeah. Like the “gentlemen” who frequent “gentlemen’s clubs?”
Or whatever y’all have…

Wow. When’s the last time an Open Thread has gone without a SINGLE comment, for days on end? Matter of timing, I suppose. When I posted it, folks were busy cooking, or preparing dishes to cook the next morning. And then, the next day, we were all stupefied…
The persons attacking the supposed Muslims are of the same ilk as those who dressed up in white sheets with the pointy-headed masks 50 years or so ago.
well, some of us were busy preparing for the next day’s feast?
